marty present would f5low his example.
Not altogether, but one by
one. until the last man
had called Saunderson liar, and was ex-
PEELED for it, and the knowledge OF this
fact, no doubt contributed 70 the settle
mcnt arrived at finally. The action ofthe
sneaker in allowing Saundcrson to make
his charge was productive of at least one
good result, whatever may be thought OF
il otherwise That result was that Saun-
dersou, ,'when.ho withdrew his charge, with
drew it because as he said he could not
substantate it, q confession which finally
disposes Of him as a politician OF any
weight with the English people, and his
admirers on the Government bench. Fri
day night he left the chamber Tor
the lobby pale and trembling, and as he
was going out he met two Irish members
who called him, TO his teeth, liar and
coward. Although crowd OF members
were standing by, he never said a word
| In reply. He went out to the refreshment

seemed to leave by back door, after
| having had a word or two with police
man. but some Irish members having
| audibly remarked that he was leav-
/ ing by back door, he again
walked into the middle OF the lobby. At
| this time DR. Turner endeavored to rouse
any remaining spark OF courage that
might be IN him by audibly remarking
/ that one man could not possibly insult an
| other more than by calling him coward
/ and a liar. but even this failed TO wind

few minutes he disappeared. Tho

service to the Irish cause. In fact it has
already, but it has hardly yet closed. On
Monday night it is not impossible that
there will be another scene, and it is quite
certain that II any body else then or at
any future time adopts the role of Saun-
/ derson to the Irish party, that party will
stand no nonsense, and whatever the con-
sequence be, will act with a sternness
that will surprise their foes. j have
authority for saying that Healy is thor
oughly satisfied with the nights work.

night, "that | would have to make SO
short speech In reply to Saunderson,
but the single word Yiar,' under the cir
cumstanccs, was more effective, perhaps,
than a two hours deliverance." Thi.
event has thrown every thing, including
Cham berlan's harangue, entirely into the
shade, and together with the agitation in
the country, has practically killed the Co
